If you have arrived from my friend, Betty's blog you are right on track.
We are in our 2nd month of the release of the Seasonal Expression 1 (SE1) and I'm still having so much fun using these beautiful products!Today, I would like to share a card I created for my January Open House. It uses a FAVORITE stamp set of mine, and these images are so BEAUTIFUL - they make ANYTHING beautiful that you create!! LOL!! :)
This card design was taken from our Make It From Your Heart, vol 4 book - and is pattern #20. I know I mentioned it before...but I just ADORE our How-To sketch books that take the guess work out of the initial process of creating a design for our project! :)
We used the FABULOUS, all around stamp set - "Splash of Color" to give us a "touch" of color on the Bashful cardstock at the top of the card.
For the stamped images...we used the stamp set - Chelsea Gardens- cardmaking. This stamp set is BEAUTIFUL, and has wonderful sentiments included in this stamp set too!!
Then to color in the images...we used a couple different items :) One thing to note....stamped images were stamped with the BLACK MEMENTO ink...that way the black color didn't run. :)
1. To color the 2 flowers - we used the Bashful Shimmer Brush!! Yes...the Bashful has just a light touch of pink, that allows you to color directly onto the stamped image!!
2. To color the leaves & small butterfly - we used Re-inker & a watercolor brush! :)
How EASY to take some re-inker, put a few drops on an acrylic block...and use your watercolor brush to "pick up" some color! It really IS that easy...happy Coloring!!
